Monday Musings: The Truth and Integrity Edition

Does integrity still mean anything?

In a world where everyone is talking, truth gets
lost amid the noise and distractions. Truth
is vitally important. Our continued
freedom depends on knowing it, and without it, we are in a very dangerous place!

Do we have a responsibility to fight for
truth? Though it may seem like a small
deal, shouldn’t we demand truth even in the simplest of news reporting? How about in the headlines? The things we repost and share on
Facebook or Twitter?

What about in our everyday life? Do we exaggerate a story or share
gossip? Matthew 12:36-37 reminds us that
we will give an account for every idle word we speak, our own words will either
justify or condemn us.

Truth is absolute. It is what it is. Denying it won’t change it, and it cannot be
altered to suit our lifestyle, just as the words of the Bible cannot be rewritten
until we have justified our sin.

If we had known the truth from our government about
Islam extremists, would we be in a safer America today?Would the fifty men and women killed by Omar
Mateen in Orlando still be alive today? I
can’t help but think they would be.

The path to a better
America has to start somewhere, it may as well be with you. And me.
Truth and integrity should be important to all of us. Be kind to someone today. Don’t repeat gossip, listen more than you
talk. Make Truth a priority in your
life. And say a prayer for the families and
friends of Orlando’s slain.

Sad thing is people have distorted the truth over the years to what they perceive as the truth. But so true that we as Jesus' ambassadors need to be careful with how we tell the truth and we must live a live of integrity indeed.
